Thom Tillis : “I will not oppose the certification of the Electoral College votes, and I will not embolden politicians in the future to appoint our presidents instead of having the American people duly elect them.”

Mitt Romney: “It turns out that telling the voters that the election was rigged is not a great way to turn out your voters… President Trump has disrespected the American voters, has dishonored the election system and has disgraced the office of the presidency.”
